They are helping us understand their concerns about COVID-19 testing, vaccinations, and returning to school. All participating families are asked to:<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"watch-read\">Watch &amp; Read<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Watch two 5-minute videos <\/strong>about COVID-19.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Read three comic books<\/strong> about three siblings and their experiences during the time of Covid-19. A read-along video will be provided for younger readers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"complete-surveys\">Complete Surveys<\/h3>\n<p>Families were asked to complete several surveys at different points in time. These surveys are confidential and only reports using group-level data will be publicly available at the end of the study. The surveys include:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Baseline Survey:<\/strong> Families were asked questions about their demographic information, health history, and COVID-19 related behaviors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Weekly 5-Minute Check-In Surveys: <\/strong>Parents completed a short weekly survey for an average of 10 months. The survey asked about whether their child was currently experiencing COVID-19 symptoms. Note: Weekly surveys ended November 2022.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Health Surveys:<\/strong> Parents complete three separate surveys about physical activity and stress throughout the school year. Parents receive $50 per household per survey, which is $150 for completing all three surveys.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>YSD Testing Center<\/strong>: Parents are encouraged to have participating children get tested for COVID-19 weekly at the Yakima School District Testing Center.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#215ba7\">ROSSEY at a Glance<\/h1>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Students<\/h3>\n<p>Students in the study were 54% female, 79% Hispanic, 15.6% White, 1% Native American, and 4% were Black or Asian.

Here are some things students have been practicing:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>74% of Yakima students wear their masks.<\/li>\n<li>83% of Yakima students wash their hands with soap or use hand sanitizer.<\/li>\n<li>24% of Yakima students frequently cover their cough\/sneeze when around others.<\/li>\n<li>60% of Yakima students practice social distancing.<\/li>\n<li>70% of Yakima students did not attend a large gathering (20 or more people) in the 7 days prior to taking the survey.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">COVID-19 Vaccinations<\/h3>\n<p>As of November 30th, 2022:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>50% of parents believe their families are safer when they receive a COVID-19 vaccine.<\/li>\n<li>43% of parents believe it is important for their child to receive a COVID-19 vaccine.<\/li>\n<li>44% of parents believe that the COVID-19 vaccine is safe and 46% believe that it does a good job of preventing COVID-19.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" id=\"ysd-test\" style=\"color:#215ba7\">Yakima School District (YDS) Testing Center<\/h1>\n<p>Students, their families, and school staff, including teachers, can get a free weekly COVID-19 test thanks to the Yakima School District.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Location:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/place\/221+N+1st+St,+Yakima,+WA+98901\/@46.605769,-120.5101053,17z\/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x5499d7ed51e5fa4f:0xd3416fefe42588a6!8m2!3d46.6057653!4d-120.5075304?entry=ttu\">331 N 1st St, Yakima, WA 98901<\/a> (across from Mel&#8217;s Diner and next to Dutch Brothers)<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"uw-btn btn-external btn-gold\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ysd7.org\/resources\/school\/health-wellness-education-center\/covid-19\/testing-vaccines\">Hours &amp;
